Jeremy Roenick Retires

[ImKoolWithThis]

I wounder where he planes to live know?

[jjhawksjj]

Being a Blackhawk fan since I was a kid I loved JR. He played the game the way it was meant to be played. Today's hockey is way too soft and Bettman is doing everything he can to ruin it.

[Zosofan11]

JR, was at the Hawks game Sunday, got back in to hockey for the first time since I was 6, and I wanted to say thanks and congratulations.

[nyrangersfan71]

Your The man JR

[trabideau]

JR Your One Of The Best Flyers Of All TIme Better Then The Big E

[mapleavenue77]

Grew up in Toronto not liking JR very much. Well, as I got older I came to appreciate him as a player and love him as a bona fide NHL personality. Congrats on a great career, JR. You are missed!!!

[TaladagaCockknocker]

You're the man, JR! If you're ever in Vancouver, hit me up and we'll grab a beer. haha

[edgecution234]

roenicks gonna win the cup as a coach or assitant coach or even the gm for chi or sj if doug wilson resigns or gets fired, even though i love him

[nascarlurg]

JR,

As a 46 year old fan from Chicago...I live and die with Blackhawk Hockey. Let me say that after Bill Wirtz came on the radio after the loss to Pittsburgh in the Finals....he said lets make you a Hawk for life. Well needless to say it about broke my heart when the organization traded you that following year for Zhamnov. I have worn your #27 Jersey to every game I attend, since then in honor of your time here. You truly were the face of Blackhawk hockey. I wish you well in retirement .

[mackysassr]

i'm going to play some nhl 94 now in honor of this guy

[qiranwang]

[ndonogh29]

[watwarrior6]

..........And what have you done with your life? With what he's done in and for the NHL I'd say he can present himself however he wants.

[J029029]

cant believe this guy never won a cup ...

he was a great player for the teams he played in. just one more season with the sharks he wouldve won one ...

[mixathe82]

He was a great player and one of most interensting persons in NHL. Thanks J.R for great career.

[yubertuber1]

Hey JR I'm from Mass too. It's awesome that you actually did this video for you tube. I knw yr looking for a broadcasting carrer, but U ROCK DUDE!!! Can anyone tell me why more great athletes don't do this? That'd be awesome if they did. God Bless all.

[twfchamp02]

Too bad he didn't win a Stanley Cup. JR was a awesome player on and off the ice. Congrats to you JR and all the best in the years ahead.

[StanOllie18]

Starting watching hockey in 1987. My first hockey jersey was a Roenick 27 in 1990 (still have it). He was the best

[postit235]

One of the greatest ever! Few players in the leage have the kind of work ethic this guy had! Thanks JR for 20 years of fun watching you - and listening to you of course! Hope to see you on TSN or elsewhere in near future.

[Kainnmaul]

Huge loss for the sharks, they were a different team when JR was in the lineup.

[danynumero6]

yeah its sad, but I dont think the Sharks will be any worse though, I mean Roenick was nice to have but he was past his prime, at least he wants to be involved with the Sharks still.

[constantlyhighflier]

How classy! Thanks for the memories, no one will ever replace you, but for the sake of the game, I hope they come close lol! Enjoy your retirement, you absolutely deserve it! The game's gonna miss you, and so will we!

[davegto67]

Thank you Jeremy, for your contributions to the amazing and wonderful game that is Hockey!

[harrybawls20001]

Bobby Orr is still the greatest.

Also, get rid of that asshole bettman.

[happyninslave]

Jeremy, Contrats!!! I remember playing Sega NHL 92. My brother and his friends would always use the Blackhawks and use Roenick to crush my Bruins players against the boards. My players looked crippled after the check, we would always die laughing. Aside from video games, Super career Jeremy!!

[availuponreq]

Thanks JR for a great career. The NHL will never be the same. Hope you find your way to a management role and/or hockey analyst.

I'm a leafs fan, i wish you could have played in Toronto at least 1 season.

[cyril500]

JR, I'm a hardcore Canadian hockey fan and you drove me nuts whenever you beat my team (often). However, I would take you any day, even give you an honorary Canadian citizenship. Love your charisma and love how you show respect for your peers, NHL alumni, the fans (US AND Canadian), owners, etc. I'll get Gordie loves you. You are the very last of a (now dead) fine breed. Gotta love it that you will now freely say what you think without consequence.

[stevedreyer]

JR, you a re the best, my friend. The game will be a little less exciting without you. My only regret is that we didn't get to see you hoist the cup playing for our beloved Flyers. Be well!

[slaphappynick]

He was a great ambassador to the sport in his time in AZ. Mouthy, sure.  Cocky. Yeah. But always made time for the fans and had a helluva career.

[daveroni12]

You were going into the NHL at 158 lbs and you stated that guys in a locker room were "3 TIMES" your size then that would mean those guys in the locker room you were playing with were 474 lbs. (3 Times your size to my calculations) Clearly you were in a dressing room with Canadians! Baahhhhh 1:19 Take Care. J.R.

Love ya buddy!

[wendel88]

i was born in 88.. Jeremy has been playing in the nhl all my life.. insane :)

[TakingTheFall71]

you're a legend, JR. ALWAYS A FLYER!

[Mustangrevolution]

No way. JR is a Blackhawk forever. Started there, and soon enough he'll be an ambassador for the greatest team ever.

[jjhawk18]

It was truly a pleasure watching JR...we need more guys like him in the NHL!

[faru27]

Sorry I missed you Here in Las Vegas .I was gonna go to the Palms and Poach some autographs but had car issues.If I had known you were retiring would of taken a bus and bought you A beer My Friend.

[EskimoFob]
